Carberry Tower

Carberry Tower A 15th Century Castle, linked to Mary Queen of Scots, only 20 minutes from Edinburgh. Carberry Tower is the perfect choice for any special occasion.

Steeped in a rich tapestry of history, Carberry Tower is also famed as the former home of Lady Mary Bowes-Lyon, sister to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. Situated only 8 miles from the center of Scotland's vibrant capital, Carberry Tower is discretely nestled within 40 acres of tranquil, manicured parkland, with an array of natural features, including exquisite rose gardens, a stunning lily pon

d and a general abundance of wildlife. Beautifully restored, retaining many original features, including staircases and fireplaces. The tower now offers extensive facilities, including accommodation consisting of 30 opulent bedroom suites within the tower and five meeting and events rooms. Marquee facilities are also available and with extensive parking available, accessed by a tree lined driveway.
